Catholic Tenor sings "Blessings"...

Cookie's wonderful voice teacher, Daniel Foran, is not generally a follower of the "Christian rock" genre but one particular song has grown on him. In fact, he found the message so profoundly moving that he recently made his own recording of Laura Story's "Blessings".

I have been meaning to post his video recording for a while and now the time is right. Will you please join me in prayer for Dan's father? He recently fell from a ladder and has been on a respirator for the last week... and I know the Foran family is living the message of this song.

"Blessings"

by Laura Story

We pray for blessingsWe pray for peaceComfort for family, protection while we sleepWe pray for healing, for prosperityWe pray for Your mighty hand to ease our sufferingAll the while, You hear each spoken needYet love us way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindropsWhat if Your healing comes through tearsWhat if a thousand sleepless nightsAre what it takes to know You’re nearWhat if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdomYour voice to hearAnd we cry in anger when we cannot feel You nearWe doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your loveAs if every promise from Your Word is not enoughAll the while, You hear each desperate pleaAnd long that we have faith to believe

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindropsWhat if Your healing comes through tearsWhat if a thousand sleepless nightsAre what it takes to know You’re nearAnd what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray usWhen darkness seems to winWe know that pain reminds this heartThat this is not, this is not our homeIt's not our home

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindropsWhat if Your healing comes through tearsAnd what if a thousand sleepless nightsAre what it takes to know You’re nearWhat if my greatest disappointmentsOr the aching of this lifeIs the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfyAnd what if trials of this lifeThe rain, the storms, the hardest nightsAre Your mercies in disguise
